Bow Wow donates to kids' computer fund

Bow Wow says, "Every young person deserves to have a computer in his or her home."

NEW YORK (AP) — Bow Wow likes computers—and wants inner-city youth to have them, too.

So the 16-year-old rapper was set to perform a concert Wednesday for Computers for Youth, a New York-based nonprofit organization. The free concert at Bryant Park in midtown Manhattan was to include an announcement of a financial donation by Bow Wow, organizers said.

"Anyone who knows me knows how much time I spend on computers," Bow Wow said in a statement Monday. "I'm a computer addict. Every young person deserves to have a computer in his or her home. It's also cool that CFY will
also make sure that they learn how to use them."

Computers for Youth provides computers, training, Internet access, e-mail accounts, ongoing technical support and tailored Web content to students and teachers in selected public middle schools in New York City.

Bow Wow's new album, "Unleashed," will be released next month.
